Ilustration During Books All Hallows' Eve

A boy is trapped in a possessed car that has stalled in the path of an oncoming train. A girl is dragged into a crypt during a field trip to an eighteenth-century cemetery. A group of friends meet their fate after an unsettling visit with a backwoods psychic. And that's just the beginning. Celebrated author Vivian Vande Velde is at her spine-tingling best in this collection of thirteen scary stories, all of which take place on Halloween night. With tales that range from the disturbing to the downright gruesome, this is one collection that teens will want to read with the lights on . . . and the doors locked.

Criticize Containing Books All Hallows' Eve
A decent collection of Halloween themed stories. I didnt find any of them properly scary and I honestly doubt a teenager would either. Theyre the kind of stories little kids tell to scare each other, each with a twist at the end. The writing wasnt bad, it just tended to be predictable and the endings didnt quite pack the punch I expected. I think its because they lacked a lot of the atmospheric elements that are required to make a horror story scary. You have to feel as if youre actually there

Read the first three stories, was bored.

The better stories were the shorter ones. The longer ones seemed to just ramble. Each story did have a twist at the end, some you suspected while others were a fun surprise. Best liked: Only on All Hallows Eve; Best friends; When and how; When my parents come to visit.

Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.comI have been a fan of Vivian Vande Velde ever since I read CURSES, INC. AND OTHER STORIES. I quickly followed that up by reading several of her other books, including NOW YOU SEE IT... and COMPANIONS OF THE NIGHT. Ms. Vande Velde is the master of spooky stories, whether they be contemporary, paranormal, or fantasy. What she's even better at, though, is writing short stories that have a way of staying with you long after you finish reading them. With ALL HALLOWS'

This was a quick read that was perfect for Halloween. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a spooky read that isn't very scary. Most of the stories in this book are creepy more than anything else. As with most books that include a collection of short stories, some are better than others. The first story, Come in and Rest a Spell, isn't that great, but they get better after that.

This is a fun and spooky collection of stories perfect for the Halloween season, so Im glad I picked it up on Halloween. Although this is classified as a young adult read, I would say it sits low on the spectrum specifically closer to upper middle grade or early teens. The writing has a slight juvenile tone to it, and I didnt think it took away from the story but instead made it a faster read. As with all collections, some stories were stronger than others, so I rated each story individually on

This is very much an 'it-was-okay' 2 stars not a 'it-was-bad' 2 stars but it was just ok.
